CHAMBERS OF THE HEART
2 ATRIA 2 VENTRICLES
Receiving chambers Pumping Chambers
(+) pectinate muscle (+) trabeculae carnae
(+) auricle (+) papillary ms – attachement of cordae
(+) interatrial septum – oval depression tendinae
*(fossa ovalis), remnant of foramen ovale (+) interventricular septum
(+) ligamentum arteriosum – connects the
PT and Aorta *(ductus arteriosus)
*LV – largest and strongest chamber
HEART VALVES
FUNCTION: Prevents backflow of the blood
AV (ATRIOVENTRICULAR) VALVES/INLET SL (SEMILUNAR )VALVES/OUTLET
(+) tricuspid valve at (R) - regulates blood (+) pulmonic valve - controls blood flow from
flow between the right atrium and right the right ventricle into the pulmonary
ventricle. arteries
(+) bicuspid valve at (L) - lets oxygen-rich (+) aortic valve - opens the way for oxygen-
blood pass from the left atrium into the left rich blood to pass from the left ventricle into
ventricle. the aorta
